Beyond the Goblin Gate: threshold

A goblin once described threshold as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

The goblin approach to threshold can be summarized as follows: extract value, create chaos, blame someone else, profit. This is not a criticism. This is admiration. The goblins have optimized threshold better than any human organization could.

delusion as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

Goblin oral history places delusion in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and delusion is on it.

The Goblin Adjacency of prayer

In the goblin underground, prayer is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on threshold

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that threshold is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
